Heroes 3 Map BurNIng Desire Finaly Done!

Unread postby MeCho » 09 Aug 2013, 20:19

So it finally done i have made Allied and non allied versions and i found that the AI even worse then usual so i made EAI -Enchanted Artificial Intelligence versions which i highly recommend if you usually play on Expert or Impossible they grant AI extra units as well as gold to purchase them for and while you can play and win the map on Expert or Impossible it will be quite annoying for the first month or so.

you can download all 4 versions here:

NOTE: Only the (EAI) Versions are updated!!!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mato2uohn4nya ... e.rar?dl=0

Please rate and give feedback as well as report any bugs if you find them even though i have tested the map and i beleave to be none

Ohh and if someone would be willing to be the tester so i can upload it to celestial heavens i would appreciate it


So with my first to will be map which originated in 2010 halfway on completion i decided to give some info on the release trying not to spoil it (too much)

BurNIng Desire is - A Large 4 player map with a Dungeon and moderate amount of water in both the Dungeon and the surface

Each player starts in a corner of a map on his own personal island 2 players on the surface (Rampart,Stronghold) 2 in the Dungeon (Inferno,Dungeon) as you already can see you cannot choose any other Faction except for the mentioned above but you can choose your hero the map comes in two versions FFA and Allies (Surface Vs Dungeon) and BONUS version for both FFA and Allies but thats a story for another day

What is to be expected from the map:
*Every Object hand placed with huge consideration taken to details *Every quest Fully customized
*Countless grammar errors
*Timed events and tile events some -player unique
*some open and well hidden humor and easter eggs
*A nice balance between unchanging and changing things
* Battle and recruit Feerie,Crystal,Azure,Rust Dragons
*All towns except hometowns customized which are few and very hard to get the map in total has at least one town of each faction
*Possibility of performing a monolight backstab or getting a backstab(and suffering a quick loose on a long game from it becouse you cant find a dominatable town you wont find town portal here ...no sir)
*Gameplay which will be enjoyed by new pawns and veterans alike
*Hard Challanges whit rewards that will leave you with a BurNIng Desire

This map will NOT be best suited for player who:
*want to get into player vs player action right from the get go this especially counts if your playing(Allies) version
*Want to start as Castle,Necropolis,Conflux,Fortress or Tower
*Dont like to finish a map that still has much left to offer
*Dont like the maps that dont provide mirror advantages


*SOME MORE HEAVY SPOLING AHEAD*

Completely removed Fly And Town Portal
Dimension Door limited to a single scroll on the map

Secondary skills:

Have you tried using the WoG map editor? You have more options in it.

Not to mention that WoG is painfully unstable.

Indeed, wog with its <>5000 extra editor eye candies, terrains, shadows, objects, decorations, it helps for unique designs. It is 100% stable in single player and can be disabled to 0% of its scripting capacities, thus only offering editor extras.

Well, it lacks diversity, colors, variety of terrains, roads, rivers, flowers. Anyway, hard to tell from 3 screens covering small areas, but right now I see just another map. But if playability is good, I guess many will ignore the lack in design.

Well i will use the WoG editor if i ever will want to make a single player map then granted it is not too much more dificult to use

It might be editors flaw to overpraise his own work but even though i played only few downloaded maps and almost all single player maps and for me the terrain is more beautiful then any other map i played especially compared to those few that i downloaded infact i do not feel arrogant to say that this should be a motivation for other first time map makers and a good example of what quality work should look like.I just seem to dislike the the how do i call it .... the corners of the islands?.... the beech?

I mean, It would look even better with Salamdre's mod that adds lots of buildings and other stuff, Gives a unique feeling to the map.

So as i understood i fill out the form including telling them that this is a test map and send it to that email and then it will show somewhere and hopefully people will email me that they want to be the testers?
